"Is this a submarine? I didn't expect that one day, my brother would be able to appreciate the scenery of the deep sea? I said, at such a deep seabed, we can't be crushed by water pressure? How did you go up and down? ”

At the bottom of the deep sea, in the rapidly moving submarine, Yang Linkai observed the colorful seabed through the porthole, and he said with interest.

"Yes, sir, this is the submarine, the invention of my king's genius. You are now flying on the Stalker, a nuclear-crystal-powered ocean-going submarine of our Navy's submarine force. The reason why we can dive deep into the bottom of the sea is that our hulls are made of extremely high-strength pressure-resistant materials, and at the same time, the submarine is equipped with anti-pressure magic units, which can effectively resist the enormous pressure coming from all sides. ”

"As for the ascent and sinking, it is actually a very simple principle that no one has thought of before-using the water injection of the watertight chamber to release water. But no one could have thought of this before my king. ”

A submarine officer beside him who was accompanying them on the tour explained in a low voice, and glanced at Xie Ning, who was whispering to Zeng Chi, with great respect.

……

"When it comes to being full of whimsy, there really is no one like him."

Yang Linkai nodded suddenly, he also glanced at Xie Ning, who seemed to have heard their conversation with an embarrassed face, and nodded in praise.

Then, I saw Shainin wave his hand to the officer, and the officer immediately withdrew with understanding, leaving only Shainin's words quietly echoing in the cabin.

"We will cross the Endless Ocean aboard the Stalker and arrive directly at a large island at the southern end of the Elven West Continent - where the Elven Court is located, where Teldashir is located. The headquarters of the Goddess of Life and the Goddess of Nature are also there. The Barbarian Mission is currently there. ”

"It's going to be a bit long because we have to avoid the maelstrom in the center of the Endless Ocean and take a detour. Fortunately, this submarine is nuclear-crystal powered and very fast, which is not much better than that of surface ships. So, expect it to arrive in two months. ”

Zeng Chizheng pointed to a map of blood elves he had brought with him and explained to Xie Ning.

……

"Maelstrom?" Shainin had a strange face.

"Yes. A super-massive ocean vortex in the center of the Endless Ocean - no one knows what it is or how it was formed. The National Research Institute of Magical Energy has asked me for support on several occasions, and I have sent several Blood Guards to take them on submarines to investigate the Maelstrom Sea, but nothing has been found. They even found that when they tried to enter from the sea or from the bottom of the sea, they were blocked by an invisible layer and could only linger on the edge of the maelstrom. ”

"And the things that block them are like a very strange film of energy - they keep anything out of the maelstrom, which is why the Maelstrom can be diluted without being affected by the planetary currents, and can exist forever. And according to the data they looked at at the edge. They only remotely sensed the presence of a similar energy response to Hope Island, but seemed to be stronger. ”

"They speculate that this may be another spatial weakness of the White Star connecting to the upper energy planes - this also corresponds to our history: it is said that the barbarians first emerged from the maelstrom."

……

Zeng Chi nodded, and then, there was a strange look in his eyes.

"However, during a recent scientific expedition to guide and escort, one of the Blood Guards reported to me that he didn't know if he was dazzled or what. He had seen a fleeting shadow outside the porthole—it seemed to be ...... A creature with hands and a tail, like a man and a fish, when viewed from the back. ”

"Merfolk?" Xie Ning was dumbfounded.

"Yes, it's a merfolk. That's a fitting title. ”

Zeng Chi suddenly nodded: "Anyway, it's such a creature - I don't know if he's dazzled or what." ”

He said inexplicably.

"Weird energy membranes? Another World...... And merfolk? Shainin muttered with a look of surprise.

"How big is this world?" Yang Linkai's expression was not much better, he said stupidly.

……

"We're not in a hurry to figure out what the maelstrom and that strange creature are, but we urgently need to solve the problem of elves and holy water of life, Brother Zeng. You know the most about this, so let's introduce them. ”

Then, Xie Ning quickly came to his senses. He continued to ask.

Zeng Chi nodded: "These two points are actually one point. The Holy Water of Life has been introduced before, and it is the essence of the life magic energy condensed once in a thousand years by the elven artifact, which is now grown in the World Life Tree of Teldashir. ”

"And the elves are actually a race closely related to their artifact, the World Tree of Life."

"The World Tree of Life condenses the holy water of life once every 1,000 years, and every 100 years it drops a number of young branches, which are carefully cultivated, and these young branches will grow into the Tree of Life anywhere - a kind of child like the World Tree of Life, or like a weakened version of the World Tree of Life, and they will condense something called the Water of Life every year."

……

"In fact, the elves have no hospital, let alone doctors, and all their ailments are cured by the water of life condensed by the tree of life—as long as they are not damaged by the soul of any physical ailments and wounds, and they are healed drop by drop."

"So, and because of this, they usually settle around each tree of life—primitive beings who are completely different from our modern way of living."

Zeng Chi paused, and he looked at the people who were already full of incredulity.

"From here, everyone can basically understand how the elves came to be, how they multiplied and grew, and the origin of the Goddess of Life Sect, right?"

He asked in a low voice, looking at everyone and nodding stupidly, he smiled and continued: "It is precisely because of this that at least until we left the elven race, the Goddess of Life Sect has always been the number one religion of the elven race. ”

……

"Their life magic power is supreme, and they are very sought after by elves who have an innate life magic energy position, and at the same time, they are also the caretakers of the world's life tree."

"You should imagine the place of the World Tree of Life in the hearts of the elves, the only great artifact left to them by the elven ancestors. In their minds, it is the same level as the Yangtze River and the Yellow River in your minds, or even more so—"

"Even its young branches are the most powerful guarantee for the spirit to multiply and grow - otherwise, imagine if we don't have a hospital, no doctors, and no medicine."

"At the beginning, on the one hand, we were because of different views on the barbarians, and on the other hand, because of the power of the Goddess of Life Cult, which oppressed the living space of our few different voices. It was only after mastering the blood elves of the Elven Knight Legion among the elves that he decided to leave the clan and migrate en masse. ”

Zeng Chi said, his eyes were full of sighs.

……

"As the Elven Knight clan who has mastered the most elite elemental combat power among the elves since ancient times, we really can't agree with the Goddess of Life Cult's claim that Life Demon can be above everything."

"In fact, although the life magic energy may be more magical, in battle, the elemental magic energy is the greatest guarantee of our combat power, and we trust the elemental magic energy more. And we don't think that the magic of life is the top magic in the world - and now, it has been confirmed. space in front of it. Who dares to dominate? ”

Zeng Chi glanced at Xie Ning angrily, but Xie Ning shrugged his shoulders with a smug smile.

"So, this is the Goddess of Elves and Life."

Zeng Chi took a sip and said again.

……

"And the Goddess of Nature Cult is another existence of the elves who are suppressed by the Goddess of Life Cult, but can barely compete with them. Compared to the group of madmen of the Goddess of Life, the Cult of Nature is also a group of madmen - they are almost madly obsessed with nature, believing that nature is above all beings, and that we are also children of nature. ”

This doctrine, which seems to be correct, but which is not necessarily correct when developed to an extreme, makes us disagree with them, but it also gives them many loyal followers among the elves. Thus withstanding the pressure of the Goddess of Life Cult with difficulty. ”

"Before we moved out of the Western Continent, the environment of the Elven Empire was roughly like this - the royal power was supreme, but the power of life and religion should not be underestimated, and the power of nature was struggling to survive under the balance and protection of royal power. The three strike a delicate political balance. ”

Zeng Chi said softly.

……

"Later. We're gone, but we're still concerned about the Elves. The reason why the situation in the Elven Empire has evolved like this now. I have to say that in our opinion, the last generation of elf kings. It's a dumb being—"

"The first folly he did was naturally to suppress his knightly legion by royal order, ordering them, who had always worshiped only the great ancestor Kael'thas, to at least one doctrine. And abandon the arrogant and mantis arms to block the car's revenge thoughts, and return to the embrace of nature and life - this is the origin of my blood elves and blood knights. ”

Zeng Chi's face was already full of indignation.

……

"In fact, he wanted us to be brought into the arms of nature, so as to bring the Cult of Deism, which had been declining over the years, into equilibrium with the Cult of Life, and thus to achieve a political balance in the Empire - but what he did not expect was how much of a psychological trauma it would be to deprive people of their faith among the valiant and chivalrous elven knights!"

"In the end, we were forced by him, and even more so in the face of discord with the entire empire, the mainstream of the Cult of Life and the Cult of God, and the voice of Gou'an, we left angrily."

"Our exodus may seem like a handful of people leaving the Empire, harmless—but we now feel that it is probably the beginning of a series of chaos in the Empire in recent centuries...... Now, we don't know if we are right or wrong, maybe this is the providence and necessity in the dark......"

Zeng Chi suddenly sighed leisurely, and he muttered, but it aroused the curiosity of Xie Yang and the others.

……

The exodus of the blood elves has led to the current situation? No way......

The two thought to themselves, a little skeptically. (To be continued......)

PS: Hehe, I saw the message of Brother Big Toe, the battle of the barbarian gods is still in the next volume, this volume is mainly the beginning of a certain traverser's royal power, and the things on the elf's side.
